Overview And Experience
Matthew S. Benson, Esq. is a seasoned attorney whose diverse experiences shape the craft and care he brings to each client’s case. A proud alumnus of local Point Loma Nazarene University, Matt’s early leadership and commitment to excellence were evident when he was named captain of his college team in both Junior and Senior seasons and garnered All-American recognition. After graduating with honors, his athletic journey then took him to Germany, where he played professional basketball with BG Lietershofen Stadtbergen located just outside of Augsburg.
Pursuing his passion for law, Matt attended UCLA School of Law from 2009-2012, distinguishing himself with top grades. His legal journey took a deeply personal turn inspired by family sacrifice. In 2011 during his second year of law school, Matt’s cousin tragically shot down during the special operations mission Extortion 17. SOC (SEAL) Darrik Benson’s ultimate sacrifice to his country was what inspired Matt to join the US Navy JAG Corps after his graduation. For the next decade, Matt honed a wide range of legal skills by representing military service members, from young enlisted personnel to top-ranking officials, across various commands including Naval Special Warfare Command, Navy Recruiting Command, Naval Special Warfare Center, Naval Station Jacksonville, and Naval Base Ventura County.

After speaking with several attorneys who dismissed my case as weak or insignificant, I connected with Matt Benson. Unlike the others, Matt took the time to review my situation thoroughly and recognized its merit. He agreed to represent me, and thanks to his skill, dedication and guidance, we won (with compensation nearly double what I had initially hoped for). Exceptional attorney, highly recommended.

What stood out most was his honesty and transparency. He didn’t sugarcoat anything but instead gave me thoughtful, clear advice rooted in what was truly best for me and my situation.
